G.A.T.A.

kentdaddy, you seem to be in the mood for an article like this one. (I was) Football talk is slow, or we have folks in the NFL and NCAA trying to lead us around by the nose. I refuse to be led by folks that are trying to "improve" the game by taking the on field action away from the fans that pay the bills. More and more it is becoming and going through what boxing did once upon a time.

So, looking around for reading material, came up with this article. Remembering you mentioned that you like blackeye peas. Said that I grew up in the South, fought the Civil War (again) when I served in the Navy (long time ago). No, it was not black and white, it was yankees and rebels. Used lower case intentionally.

When I first exposed myself to this board, did not know what to expect, but have always liked a challenge. This place became my premier site, and have noticed that other blogs try not to say too much about this site, and I understand the reason(s) why. There are several on this board that are bona-fide football know-it-alls. I make that statement knowing that I along with you and others have a grip on football talk. FIRST, does not count. Most clicks do not count. UGA Football is what we discuss for the most part. Say it again, glad that you gave me the "honest welcome" to participate.

Ok, I have said more than once that I am not a big supporter of SEC Commissioner Slive. However, reading this article, will give him a little slack. . . . . .

DAWG1277, thank you again for getting the football juices flowing. Enjoyed reading a lot of the comments in the article below. PP on OSU and the Big Whatever. SEC for me.

Nice read. I have been saying the Big Ten is over rated for more than a decade. I could see it in the 90's. They have been a two team conference since before JFK was shot and all the others fight for scraps.

Probably many have read this article. I find some very interesting statements and conclusions from the author. Whether the positional rating is right, wrong or otherwise, many of these statements are hard to disagree with. Personally, I have always felt that we were/are or should be one of the top 10 programs in the country.

Now that's an interesting article. Thanks for the post, Buc. I would have to agree with that list, maybe not the EXACT order, but certainly it's a pretty accurate list. Someone on that site asked why Boise State isn't on there. If you look at the top 16 teams, they are the perennials. Boise State may someday make it, but they don't belong yet. Only time will tell that. But can you imagine a college football playoff between those teams in any given year?!

Ahem:

1. Texas v 16. Tennessee
2. Ohio State v 15. Nebraska
3. Oklahoma v 14. Fla. State
4. Florida v 13. Notre Dame
5. UGA!!! v 12. Michigan (blowout)
6. LSU v 11. USC
7. Alabama v 10 Oregon
8. Penn State v 9. Auburn

In any given year, that would be a playoff worth paying to watch. KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, BABY!

Anyway, I might reorder a couple of teams here or there, but certainly it's pretty good. And you are right, Buc. There needs to be a few more UGA top 5 finishes - maybe even some NCs, huh?

But it ain't over yet . . .

Thriller you are right...that would be a blast to watch! I agree w/ you also on the fact of rearranging some of the schools, but I guess we all have our opinions. Our great MILITARY gives us that privelidge.

Have a great weekend gents,

Interesting they voted to limit scholarships to 25 at the meetings.
